    Hey look, Hobbs’ guy again. Shock
  2. HarveysWBs
    We didn’t score 28, so I think we’re in tough shape here.
  3. HarveysWBs
    Thank goodness for Tucker Kraft
  4. HarveysWBs
    Ok, defensive line. Nice effort on that.
  5. HarveysWBs
    If Green Bay wins, two red zone sacks and Havrisik’s monster kick are the red circles in the notebook so far. Really momentous efforts.
  6. HarveysWBs
    Is there something he can do besides cash checks?
  7. HarveysWBs
    After pro scouting being such a strength of this franchise of late, the Hobbs and Banks trades and subsequent performances are just inexplicable. Truly horrendous.
  8. HarveysWBs
    Whatever our third down strategy was for this one, burn it.
  9. HarveysWBs
    False starts, offsides, illegal formations… Man there are some posteriors in need of a good chewing out there today.

    This whole game, including the broadcast production (routinely trash camera work) is incredibly frustrating. If anything, Parsons has just made me angrier about how mid we are. Healthy Love and healthy Parsons should be 4-1/5-0 and rolling. This is a garbage product right now.

    The Brewer pitchers have absolutely more than held up their end of the bargain. What a time for the whole lineup to completely lose their collective mojo. But as @adambr2 said, this is not exactly a new development for the Brewers and postseason “offense,” which has really just been “offensively putrid” of late. Aside from winning at least a couple games, I was really hoping Yelich would find something in this series, for the sake of his own Brewers legacy. At this point in his career and with his injury history, you have to wonder (and he probably wonders, too) if he’ll ever string some offensive success together in October.
  12. HarveysWBs
    Literal insult to injury. Sounds about right.

    Yeah, I keep trying to hope that the Dodgers winning a title and then making even more huge signings (Yamamoto 12 years, $325 mil plus a $50mil signing fee to the Orix Buffaloes, signaling their intention to basically turn all of Japan into their own private talent farm) would be such an offensive financial decision that even the Yankees would balk and start demanding structural changes. Remains to be seen. EDIT: nvm, forgot Yamamoto was signed going into 2024, not this year. Losing a grip on the facts.

    Essentially, for the Brewers to win a title under these conditions, they pretty much need to hang around until about the first week of September and then go supernova like they did post-All Star break this year, and they'd still need to get all the breaks to beat a Dodger team playing like this. Even then, I'm not sure replicating their July and August in October is even really possible. Yet, being light years away from their offensive peak, they've still lost the first two of this series by only a combined five runs, could have (should have?) stolen game one, and have held Ohtani down in a park that would reward an awful lot of pull fly balls from him. But for that, the deficit is still 2-0 and feels a lot bigger than that. Hey Chris Berman, I could really use a "And that's why they play the game" right about now.

    I decided in the DS that finding a way to beat the Cubs and avoid yet another postseason series collapse will be acceptable progress for me and I would not be upset about whatever came next. I intend to honor that promise to myself. That being said, getting the privilege of watching the Dodgers give me a half a billion dollar lesson in modern baseball economics with Snell and Yamamoto is fairly irritating, to say the least. Yeah, the approaches need to be better, especially the flipping lefties, who are coming up small in nearly all seven postseason games so far. But the story is these starters doing exactly what they are being paid princely sums to do, and we have no answers.
  16. HarveysWBs
    Or a broken kneecap.
  17. HarveysWBs
    Look, it's the playoffs. 2-1 games at the later stages just happen. I'm not thrilled about it, but I don't think we need to make a federal case about it, either. This was always well within the realm of likely possibility, and it isn't Murph's fault, and I don't think it means a really radical rethink is necessary. The lineup was constructed well, Snell was nails for 8 innings, but I suspect when the Brewers see him again (and I really hope they see him again) the approach will be better and the result at least slightly different. Let's go at it again tomorrow. Back to work.
  18. HarveysWBs
    Hey, wait a minute, you didn't see Yasiel Puig and Chris Taylor out there, did you? No. Oh, good. For a moment there, I thought we were in real trouble. Let's go get 'em. Enjoy the ride everybody!

    I love this, of course, but with hamstrings this is still worrisome. Being "close to 100 percent" just means you are still equally close to "I cannot run, like, at all." Hamstrings are either 100% or a Ford Pinto. There is no in between.

    I’m so fired up for Miz and Patrick—absolutely phenomenal stuff from the rooks. And Brice, after so many ugly Ks to have that huge shot late to double the lead—it may not have normalized my blood pressure, but every little bit helps! And what more can you say about Vaughn? It’s the kind of player I thought only happens to the Cardinals, so it’s nice to be on this side of things for once. And finally, I’m pretty impressed with the optimists around here. Your confidence was definitely rewarded tonight, and I couldn’t be happier. What a massive win for the whole organization and the fan base. That’s a top 5 sports moment for me. Unbelievable!

    See you on the other side, y’all. If you’re at the game, put this phone down and start yelling!
  23. HarveysWBs
    I’ll accept your terms. A game like this is a game of players: one or two will rise to the occasion, and most probably won’t. We’ll see soon enough.
  24. HarveysWBs
    I will say this: unless the decision is truly and utterly inexplicable, like using Ortiz to PH in a critical situation with other bench options available, I’m just not going to play the armchair manager game after this one. I’ve seen a fair few coaches come through, and they’ve all been different. None of them won a title (yet), and few have even won a postseason series. At some point, though, after all the regular season success these teams have had over the years, it has to come down to players making plays. If they lose tonight (and I won’t rehash my feelings about that, this isn’t the time or place), I firmly believe Pat Murphy won’t be in the top 5 reasons why. Hitters have to hit, and pitchers have to keep the ball in the yard, simple as that.
  25. HarveysWBs
    I keep seeing this suggestion pop up, and I just think, at some point, where is the line going to be drawn on the absolute shameless and incandescently transparent manipulation of injury lists in Major League Baseball? The Brewers are a team that will scrap and claw for every single advantage they possibly can in an environment designed to disadvantage small markets at every turn, but I have to think even our brass would balk at this. But who knows. In the end, it feels like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Now, I know that I shouldn’t feel this way, and I’ve rehearsed all the rational reasons why. Past performance is not indicative of future results, players don’t react the way fans do, etc. But I can’t bring myself to believe any of it. When I think of AmFam/Miller in October, it’s just a sadness factory. It’s why I’ve been off the boards most of the series—I don’t think this place needs more and more of what my head says is a polluted mindset, but my eyes and heart tell me are just the facts of life. Three chances to win just one game. I’ve given up on a World Series, it’s a fools hope and always will be. But for years of pain, it isn’t too much to ask they don’t do this, at home, to Counsell’s Cubs of all teams. They owe us that. I wish I believed they would deliver.
